Repurposed Song

I have the Smashing Pumpkins' song "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" from the soundtrack to Batman & Robin.

However, whenever it comes on what do I think of?

The trailer for The Watchmen.

The song was cool before, but that trailer made it awesome.

Saturday Morning Watchmen

No, I didn't go see it again. Not yet.

We did go see Push, and that was fun. I enjoyed it more than Jennifer did, but she still had a good time. She's decided that she can't handle the violence in The Watchmen.

And yet she went to watch a UFC even tonight...

Anyway, check this video out. The Watchmen as a Saturday Morning cartoon.

Watching the Watchmen

Just got back from the midnight showing.

Bloody.

Fucking.

Awesome.

All three separately and together.

I Watch the Watchmen

I'm getting worked up for the "Watchmen" movie. In their latest Smodcast (Smodcast 58), Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier chatted for a bit about the "Watchmen" trailer shown before "The Dark Knight". Most of the scenes in the trailer are like live-action scenes straight from the book. And recently there have been promo picture ads for the movie released that have recreated the old ads for the comic. I am feeling hopeful.

Additionally, I wanted to share that Warner Brothers has made what they are calling a Motion Comic. It is a really interesting way of doing it, but think of it as being a combination of a cartoon and an audiobook.

So you can go to iTunes and either enter "Watchmen" in the search box, or you can go: TV Shows/Sci-Fi & Fantasy/Watchmen/Watchmen Motion Comics.

Some of the movements bring to mind the old Spider-Man cartoons. The ones from when I was a kid, with the cool theme song, and the really bad plots.
